Open Ramble East – Public meeting

Join artist Ian Giles for a public meeting about Open Ramble East – a series of walks being organised with and for LGBTQI+ people living in the East of England.

The meeting is an opportunity to share local LGBTQI+ knowledge, histories and connections. It is a chance for interested locals to help plan a queer walking route in and around Cambridge to happen in spring 2019 and to suggest formats for a post-walk social event.

Kettle’s Yard has been selected by Ian Giles and Open Ramble East as a site with queer heritage.

This event is free, all LGBTQI+ people, friends and families are welcome. Booking is recommended

About Open Ramble East

Artist Ian Giles and Open Ramble East are organising walks with LGBTQI+ people throughout the East of England during 2019 as part of New Geographies. The rambling walks will move from urban centres out in to more rural spaces. They are an opportunity for LGBTQI+ individuals to socialise and collectively claim space. After each walk there will be a social event with food and music. As part of his research Ian has been meeting with members of the Gay Outdoor Club a membership led walking group founded in the 1970s. He has also been exploring queer sites and histories across the East.
